For questions and answers and support ~ we have all had our struggles with elevated FSH and are overcoming the obstacles little by little! All are welcome. ↓
just wanted to wish LOLA congrats again - and KAREN - keep us posted on you - i'll keep you in my prayers. i am sorry about your u/s. how far along are you? ↑
Karen you may be too early, the same thing happened with my son and look he was the only success I had. I got all screwed up on dates and like you went in and all they seen was the sac and fetal pole around 6 weeks or a little under. How far long are you thinking you are? I hope everything will be okay, when do you go back to the doc?
Lola great to hear from you and congrats on your baby boy..you sound so upbeat for a new Mom, that's great.
Julie how are you feeling and when is your next doc visit? ↑
LOLA, Soooo incredibly happy for you and DH and baby Henry. I can't imagine what it felt like to hear "It's a Boy!" I was too curious to not find out. So great to hear everything went well and you are settling in at home. Gosh I wish this site could view photos. I want to see all of you!*********** Kare, Keep the faith, listen to what Densie wrote. And why are they making you wait until the 12th???!!! Whenever things were in question for me, they had me checked exactly a week later. Your doc would know something by next Friday. I just feel terrible you have to wait so long. Julie, how are things with you? ↑
Yes, but I feel comfortable with him. I am really down today. I don't know why. I have my beautiful son. I guess it's the hormones. I have been trying really hard to be positvie but the thought of going through this all over again is too much. I have no appetite and all I want to do is sleep. It's harder then I thought it would be. ↑
Yes it must be difficult for you, the waiting is awful. Try to remain positive these next few days.*********Julie, are you still with us? :-) Denise, how are things with you? ↑
hi guys - i have had some pretty yucky morning sickness (all day & night too) these past few days. i am not complaining - just trying to endure & keep up with my DD. i had my 2nd u/s today - i am measuring 4 days bigger than i should - and we had a HB over 100 - which my RE said she is pleased with - i still do'nt feel like we're out of the woods. she gave me the option of releaseing me to my OB or keeping me to come in again next week - i will go see her again next week. nothing sounds good to me to eat - at all. i am trying. . . . karen - how are you doing? sorry you aren't feeling so happy today - it has to be tough waiting. i hope monday gets here before you know it. ---- LOLA if you are checking in on us how's the baby? -- hi kristine & denise. ↑
Karen I have been thinking about you...how are you doing? I know all too well how hard it is, sometimes you think wanting one is hard but when you try for number two it can be just as hard. Hang in there and like you said no matter what you have a beautiful son, that is all I have ever focused on. I truly hope every thing will go well for you. Julie fantastic news, so glad things are looking good, congrats. Hi Krstine!!! hi Lola!!!! ↑
hi girls - KAREN - it's been almost a week since you posted - i just wanted to see how you are doing? i think you saw your doc yesterday - right?? - i hope all is well!! -------- i am still morning sick - all day. i go for another u/s tomorrow and i hope it shows good stuff. it is so hard to be exicted when i am so scared of the bad things that have happened over this past year with 2 losses. i hope everyone is well! ↑
I have good news to report. The heartbeat is strong 150bpm. I am so happy but still cautiously optimistic. I cried during the sono b/c we did not expect good news at all. I was already preparing in my head for the D&C. I am so happy you are doing well. I am vomitting with this pregnancy. I just feel queasy and have no appetite. I have to force myself to eat. Julie I understand how you feel. I don't enjoy pregnancy at all. ↑
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am tearing up and have major goosebumps. I am so happy for you Karen. I was so worried!!!!!! This is great news. I'm at work so gotta go. Will check in later this week. Gosh i am so happy. ↑

Hi Ladies! I just wanted to say hi to everyone and to wish Karen many,many blessings. Congrats on the awesome report from the doc. Julie, it's me! I wanted to say hi to you and say how happy I am for you on your pregnancy! Since the last time you heard from me, I've had a miscarriage and a blighted ovum. However, today I am 8 weeks and about 3 days...Praise God. I experienced some extensive bleeding (red blood) and passing of clots on Friday evening, but when I went to the emergency room they saw my precious baby (which is the first time I had been seen by anyone). At any rate, I am now on bed rest as a precaution from my doc. I am working from home starting today. I am on bedrest until I complete the first trimester. I feel amazing blessed to experience every symptom...this journey has been an emotional roller coaster, but my faith has grown tremendously! I hope my story inspires the rest of you ladies. Wishing each of you many baby blessings! ↑
Hi everyone! Karen and Julie- I'm so happy to hear of your news!!! It's incredible and I'm saying prayers for both of you. I've been pretty busy as this litle guy is a full time job!! I can't believe he's 3 weeks old today! The worry I'd been experiencing trying to bring him into this world is nothing compared to the worry I have for him now that he's here. We've been working through our breastfeeding issues. Its been hard but he's getting better but still can be very lazy when he's nursing and I know he's not getting enough. We've been supplementing as I pump almost all day after feeding so my day is pretty much consumed with feeding Henry. He hadn't been gaining adequate weight according to his dr so it's been our goal to eat eat eat. However, now he's spitting up a lot more and seems to be almost choking at times. Last night in the middle of the night he was all plugged up and gagging with spit up coming out his mouth and nose. It freaked me out beyond belief. I'm wondering if he has reflux? Didn't Will have reflux, Karen? How did you know? What did you do for him? Other than our eating issues, the little guy has been sleeping pretty well and has a great disposition. I love him more and more everyday...so much that it hurts!! The hormonal drop has been a little daunting too.....my poor dh has to deal with two crying people on a daily basis! Otherwise, we're great....I'm so happy with my little guy. He didn't need O2 either (since we're at high altitude) which was awesome. Such a drag to tote oxygen around with a little one. Denise and Kristine- how's things in your world? Talk to you all again soon. Any good infant resources you've found online? I don't want to overdo it but need to read up on some things. I'll talk to you all soon! ↑
Oh Lola that sounds scary. I was in Nora's room for every little peep she made. I can't imagine. At 3 weeks, she had a bad cold with a major cough. I had to elevate the bassinet. It was rough. Nora is doing very well. She just broke in her third tooth, this time one on top. I am so excited for the holidays. I don't know how she'll be on Santa's lap. lol-----------JULIE, how did you make out with your sono this week? DENISE, how are you? ↑
Lola, i feel for you. Wiliam had very bad reflux. He would cough, spit up alot, arch his back during and after feedings, throw himself backward, refusing to be burped. He had to have a chest x ray which was neg.. and was dx with he reflux. He was on Zantac for awhile. It is not uncommon for babies to have refux. It just varies in the severity. Try to take it easy. I was postpartum after William was born for a week. I thought I was losing my mind. I would cry all the time. I think after everything I had been through my mind and body just collapsed once I got home. If you need any advice please call on me. You are not alone. I hope everone has a very Happy Thanksgiving! ↑
hi girls - M2B - how are you? we were pregnant together last time too! congrats to you!! i think we're probably due right around each other again! --- LOLA - reflux is hard - harder on us cuz we have to see our little ones go thru it - but it shouldn't last too long - i hope he's doing better now and you guys have a great thanksgiving! --- KAREN -- how are you doing? great news on your u/s & HB. when do you go back to the doc again? ---- KRISTINE - good luck with nora on santa's lap -- 1st year it was ok - she was entranced - but last year, she knew what was really going on some stranger holding her - and she wouldn't have any of it!! -- -- i had my 3rd u/s today - actually at m y 1st OB appt -- it was exciting and nerve wracking - as this is the same timing that i saw the HB on olivia (my august angel) and 2 days later there was nothing - so while we did see a great HB today - i am in that week of "scared" time -- and can't wait for next week's appt. my OB has offered to see me every week till we are out of the 1st trimester (thankfully!) -- but i am measureing a bit bigger than they thought again this week (3 weeks in a row) so she officially upped my due date 4 days. that was good news. and i am still extremely morning/ all day sick. i got stronger medication to help combat that - so that should help --- i also was told NO FLYING till 16 wks - anyone ever heard of that? she said while it MAY be safe - she doesn't want to take any chances - something to do with cabin pressure and such early on. so we will reschedule disneyland for a later day. --- that's it for me - i hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving!! ↑
Happy Belated Thanksgiving everyone! Nora started crawling Thanksgiving night. And to top it off, her second top tooth broke in the same day. She's only 8 months (today actually !!!) and has 4 teeth. Yikes! ------------------------Glad to hear all the doc's appts. are going well. ↑
How is everyone doing? We're doing great. Henry is eating much better since we started the Prevacid but I can tell he still gets pretty uncomfortable by his faces and actions. I hope the meds continue to work for him. He's still a peanut but finally gained the amount of weight the dr wanted to see last week. He's now 7lbs 14oz. I'm still somewhat overwhelmed on a day to day basis with how much time it takes to do anything...esp since he doesn't like to sleep alot during the day. How are the prego ladies? Very exciting that Nora is crawling Kristine...another great milestone for you and her. Are you having pics taken with Santa? I think we'll probably pass on that this year...H is too little. Take care everyone! ↑
Lola, so happy to hear you and Henry are well. The reflux can be very frusrating. William started with it at 2 weeks. That's when the cough kicked in. It is overwhelming b/c we have never done this before. It will get better. Rest when you can and know you are not alone. ↑
Sorry been MIA. Nora and I have had colds. I also lost my voice for a couple of days. We plan to see Santa but I think she'll bawl. Putting up a tree should be interesting with my little speedster getting into everything! JULIE, how did you make out at your appt? ↑
Hello everyone! Anyone out there? The threads been quiet for awhile. Hope all is well with you ladies. We took Nora to Santa. She took two good looks up at him and cried. We were able to get oen shot in but she wasn't happy. ;-( ↑
Hi all I am doing well just very tired. William is keeping me busy with his crawling. I had a nuchal translucency sono yesterday. It went well. I am debating about an amnio. I am so worried about mc but I am also worried about complications b/c of my age. My first question when WIlliam was born was if he was okay. I would like peace of mind. I can't decide what to do. I took William to see Santa the other day too. No tears just a blank expression. He looked cute. ↑
Hey karen,
The way I feel if I had had an amnio and something indicated trouble, what could I do about it? I preferred not to know and hope for the best. Overall, how do you feel? ↑
Well, I am worried about the mc risk even though I have been reassured it is low. My doctor told me if there are problems they would have specialists present. It is a good point. I want peace of mind. I am pretty confused. The appt. is 1/4. I will be on bed rest afterward. If there are problems with the baby I would like to be prepared as opposed to being shocked and overwhelmed in the delivery room. ↑
hi guys -- KAREN -- what was the ratio they gave you for the NT scan?? i have mine coming up & am very nervous. (also do you mind telling me how old you are??) i just turned 40 so i have that against me. and what is your due date? ----KRISTIN - i think it is normal protocol to put you on bed rest for a few days after an amnio - i don't think she meant the rest of the PG. ↑
No, just after the amnio. William has been saying mama and Dada for awhile. It is very cute. He does not say it as much as he used to. I am 36 I will be 37 when I deliver. The tech said the sono looked good. I have to wait for the blood work back for confirmation, hopfully. Try not to worry. Julie are you going to have an amnio? ↑
Nora says dada and gigi. I think she calls me gigi. lol------------------------I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and enjoy every moment. We've been given the best gift of all. :-) ↑
